Installing Control-M on UNIX

This procedure describes how to install the Control-M suite with all Control-M components including plug-ins, add-ons, and the Control-M Conversion tool on UNIX. You can install with the default settings, or choose the custom installation to select the database server, database names, usernames, hostnames, and port settings.

You can install multiple instances of Control-M on several hosts with the same configuration via the automatic installation option that is described in this procedure.
The default installation is interactive and uses a GUI display. XServer must be running and configured using the DISPLAY environment variable. If you do not have XServer available, BMC recommends that you continue with the console installation or perform an automatic installation.

Before You Begin

Complete all Pre-installation Procedures.
Verify that your operating system and database software is compatible with the current version of Control-M, as described in Full Installation System Requirements.
Verify that you have met the Java requirements, as described in External Java Installation.
Verify that no previous versions of Control-M are installed on the host.
(Cluster configurations only) Prepare the database server and data as described in Cluster Configuration.

Begin

Copy the installation files from the temporary directory to the home directory.
Set your DISPLAY environment variable, as described in Setting Environment Variables in UNIX.
Navigate to the home directory and run the following command:

<source_path>/setup.sh
Do one of the following:
- Interactive Installation: Select the Control-M 9.0.22- Full Installation option and continue with the on-screen instructions until the installation is complete.
- Automatic Installation: Create a parameter file and then run the automatic install in a non-interactive mode, as follows:
  1. Select the Control-M 9.0.22- Full Installation option and continue with the on-screen instructions until the Summary window.
  2. Click Generate and select the location to create the XML parameter file.
  3. Click Yes to quit the installation.
    
    A confirmation message appears.
  4. Click Yes.
  5. Copy the automatic installation parameters file to a network location that is accessible to all hosts where you want to perform an automatic installation.
  6. Run the following command:
    
    <source_path>/setup.sh -silent <xml_path>/<filename.xml>
    
    If you want to encrypt a password in the installation, run the following command:
    
    <source_path>/setup.sh -encrypt <password>
    
    The installation logs can be found at the following location:
    
    <$HOME>/BMCINSTALL/log/BMC_Control-M_Install_<date-time>.log
By default, Control-M/EM and Control-M clients are configured to communicate via HTTP. BMC recommends that reconfigure this to the more secure HTTPS protocol, as described in Zone 1 SSL Configuration.
(Application Integrator only) Upgrade Application Integrator to the latest version by deploying the Application Pack to your Agents, as described in Application Pack Deployment.
